New Long-Lived Particles at the LHC

TL;DR

This paper explores various theoretical scenarios for long-lived particles at the LHC, highlighting potential signatures, motivations from dark matter and hierarchy problem, and discussing trigger strategies for detection.

Contribution

It introduces new possible long-lived particle signatures at the LHC motivated by dark matter and hierarchy problem, emphasizing the need for dedicated searches and trigger strategies.

Findings

Identification of unexplored long-lived particle signatures

Motivations from dark matter and hierarchy problem

Discussion on trigger strategies for detection

Abstract

I discuss various scenarios for long-lived particles at the LHC that can have spectacular signatures, not all of which have been searched for. I take motivation from dark matter and the hierarchy problem, as well as from finding novel signatures. There is also a brief discussion of triggers.
